I am pretty sure he switched governments, dumped stock and went to war. I could be wrong though.

Report him for exploiting DR's :-)

And, Monsters, do not forget to specify, when time and place shall serve, that I am an ass.

PS Oct 25, 10:48 PuffyCheeks (#147) Secretly Quietly and Discretely (#113) 8095 A

Oooooo. Now THAT is a hit.

I am so jealous.

Is this what Xin was talking about in that other thread?

But how much military went down the tubes?

With use of the land for just nine days (or 9 hours).

My calculator doesn't know where to start working out the arithmetic on this one.

Fun though. :)

So you're saying that you are intentionally taking advantage of being in DRs?

You're not helping your case with the mods :-P

he is saying that #19 is in dr so #19 can't be retalled until dr has gone.

No. These are "grudge hits". Both players lost their t10 spots to the ABs and have set out to disturb another player's t10 spot instead.

These hits took over 20-30m jets each and are in no way profitable towards finishing higher in rank.

I don't consider it illegal to do what he did. He's not cheating, the game allows for it.

I consider it grey area.

Yes it's arbitrary.

It's only grey area if there is suspicion that he is being put into DR on purpose by coordination. It's a pretty dumb rule to say that you can't attack anyone else if you're in a war with someone. And if this becomes a rule then might as well just take out AB, GS, BR, missiles, and any harmful spy op in primary since it'll just be a purely netters server (which maybe we should have - actually this would be a good idea. A primary server like it is now but you can coordinate with ppl in game and a netting only server).

Agree.

We attack whomsoever we like. For whatever reason we like.

Co-operation is out but there is nothing co-operative here.

Nothing wrong with the hit from a rules standpoint. As Xin stated this is simply a fluff move since at this point in the game the hit actually hurts PuffyCheek's net finish.

You clearly haven't played on Express where people intentionally try to get GSed or ABed (1-2 years ago), so that they can topfeed with impunity. No coordination involved, but considered an abuse of DR, which is why it became a rule (about it being grey area). If know you a rule and intentionally try to exploit it, that is abuse. I stopped playing Express largely because of this, though it hasn't happened much since the rules were tightened around DR abuse.

It's still within the rules established by the game maker. Until something is done about the mechanic or an explicit rule is created to prevent it it's fair game. As top players aren't we essentially exploiting GDI by only grabbing everyone once?

Would he have hit oldman if he wasn't in Deep DRs?

For whatever it may be worth, I wasn't stating anything about whether I think it should be legal or not. I was merely trolling because I know people have been deleted on solo servers for this exact type of stuff. Sorry for stirring pots unnecessarily :-)

And, Monsters, do not forget to specify, when time and place shall serve, that I am an ass.

Guys, come on. Look past this DR crap you are discussing. That's not the point here. Who cares about DR? I'm taking issue with the fact that he hit me deliberately because his set is ruined.

I asked him why he did it and his reply was "just spreading the love". And when i told him he just took away my 150m finish, his reply was "i sure did".

The grab was ill intentioned and he wouldn't have done it if he wasn't hit by #19 and #66.

Edfjr: you didn't even have a shot at top3 fyi before those hits. I hope you didn't think you had a shot at winning before you got ruined, and that's why you did what you did (deliberately taking it out on the best looking country).

It's hard luck on you but it pleased the guy to drag down your country after his own had been dragged down and I can't see too much wrong with that.

It's not human nature at its most appealing but the desire to cut down tall poppies IS part of human nature and is bound to be a feature in folk who play competitive games like this one.

You love to achieve very high networth finishes. I get a buzz from huge grabs. I would have loved to make this one. There is nothing legitimate about the one pleasure and illegitimate about the other.

There is simply no right to net in peace.

All that said I am sorry you had the gloss taken off your finish. We all know how much work and patience is needed and I sympathise with your disappointment.

Total casher set too, the usual cashers went something else this set.

Low food, low tech, low military, not many cashers.

How was your D at the time oldman?

The food on the market these days has less to do with farmers and more to do with destocking. Even at that, food isn't going up, so farmers are better selling at 42 today than at 35-36 in the next few days which will happen.

I asked #34 a question about running a big commie and he was nice enough to spend a minute and type me a nice lengthy reply, I appreciated that!

Does afaik still play? He was a big C/I guy.. although that humorous country name doesn't fit afaik's profile.
